Lord of the Horizon [Paperback]

Joan Grant (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 1989

Ra-ab Hotep, the youthful hero of Eyes of Horus, is twenty-one when this novel opens. His father has just abdicated in his favor and he is now the Nomarch of the Oryx. Over Egypt there is a dark tyranny and the Watchers of the Horizon, under the leadership of Roidahn, prepare for the Dawn, the day when they would be ready to overthrow It. Lord of the Horizon relates the story of Ra-ab Hotep's struggles against oppression and tells of his wife Meri-ososis and his sister Kiyas. "The shining ideas In this novel are ethical: the recognition and over-coming of inertia, jealousy, power-complexes In oneself and others; behavior to children, etc. . . , reports Time and Tide and then continues to say that "the charm of Miss Grant's beautifully composed Egyptian setting and the interest in the effect on Individual consciousness of the belief In 'many lives of experience' are as fresh as ever."

5.0 out of 5 stars High-Stakes Royal Intrigue and Spiritual Enlightenment., February 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Lord of the Horizon (Paperback)

     Intrigue at the highest levels of royalty...a ghost story set in the burial chambers of a pharaoh's pyramid...a mystery to test the mind and loyalty of a hero and determine the fate of Egypt herself - these are the stakes at risk in the twin books EYES OF HORUS and LORD OF THE HORIZON, by Joan Grant. 

     These two books were written to be published as one, but: The year was 1942 and author and publisher were in wartime England, where there was a severe paper shortage.  So, the book was made into two, with one published in 1942 and the second in 1944.  Each is complete and easy to read, but to experience the vast sweep of historical significance in the events of the stories, one should read first HORUS and then HORIZON. 

     Both are recommended for all who are interested in spiritual enlightenment, ancient Egypt, and grand writing by an author with a sweeping command of language, history and imagery.

I have been looking for this book for a long time and finally found it in Amazon. I love Joan Grant's work and this book was the missing one. The best of it was that I received the book faster than it was anounced. Sorry if I am too short but as a spanish speaking I read quite well in english but I lack of words when writing.
